Ex members are Titus Vadon (drums, vocals / ex-member from drahdiwaberl & das balaton combo), Zebo Adam (guitar, vocals / ex-member from hallucination company), Antonia-Alexa Georgiew (violin, vocals), Werner Köck (guitar), Manfred Franzmeier (saxophone / member from hot pants road club, ex-member from madrid de los austrias) and Christoph Schödl (drums).
Their music is a rousing mixture of russian folkmusic and ska / ska-punk.
"Russkaja is the exact opposite of Easy Listening music, Russkaja - terror of terrors of all Russian folk music societies - stands for fat Austrian Polka beats. The group members are the most illustrious musicians of the Alpine region, who possess a colourful mix of cultural backgrounds. They pour these various cultural influences into a postmodern version of Russian folk and spread their distinctive music all over Europe. It is sweaty and shouts out loud: Dance Dance Dance! It is a clash of trash metal, world jazz, funky stuff and Frank Zappa-esque Rock. All these things signify: Get down to business!"

There is a word play in the name of the band: RUSSKAJA means 'russian' on russian language, but it also stands for: 'Rus' = Russia - 'Ska' = style of music - 'Ja' = German for: Yes.

Radost Moja
Russkaja Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Встречай родная возвращаюсь я домой
Не брит, нога болит но всё-таки живой
И запылился бинт на правом рукаве
Фуражка у чулана я спешу к Тебе

Подумать только ведь прошло всего три дня
С тех пор как я стоял на линии огня
Спасался в ту секунду мыслью я одной
Как обниму Тебя когда приду домой

Ра-ра-ра-ра радость моя
А где бы был бы я без Тебя?
Ра-ра-ра-ра радость моя
Так пой со мной любимая

Genosse Trotski
War ein kluger Specht
Er hatte fast
Mit allen Thesen Recht

Ein böses Ende
Für jede gute Tat
Revolution gescheitert
Jetzt haben wir den Salat

Kinder
Gescheiterter Revolution
Verdienten
Längst ihre erste Million

Sex auf Rechnung
Im kopf nur Geld
Kein Batmann Banker
Ist ihr größter Held

Zinnsoldaten
Der unsichtbaren Front
Euch wird ein Platz
Im Altersheim gegönnt

Ohne Zuhause
Kommt ihr nicht weit
Es sei denn ihr findet
Ein Loch in der Zeit

Rararara
Zeig dein Gesicht
Liebe allein
Rettet uns nicht

Glaube nicht
Die Welt ist fies und faul
Hau dieser Welt
Eine aufs Maul

Ра-ра-ра-ра радость моя
А где бы был бы я без Тебя?
Ра-ра-ра-ра радость моя
Так пой со мной любимая

Ра-ра-ра-ра радость моя
А где бы был бы я без Тебя?
Ра-ра-ра-ра радость моя
Так пой со мной любимая

Ра-ра-ра-ра радость моя
А где бы был бы я без Тебя?
Ра-ра-ра-ра радость моя
Так пой со мной любимая

Overall Meaning

The song Radost Moja by Russkaja is a story of a soldier returning home after being at the frontlines of a conflict. The song describes his eagerness to reunite with his loved one after enduring the hardships of war. The first stanza starts with him apologizing for his appearance, mentioning that he has not shaved and has an injured foot. However, despite everything, he is alive and returning home. He rushes towards his loved one with a bandage on his right sleeve and his hat in hand. He reflects on the fact that it has only been three days since he stood on the frontline, and he was only able to survive the ordeal by thinking of how he could hug his beloved one again when he came back.

The second part of the song shifts gears to discuss unrelated themes such as politics, money, and society. The song mentions historical figures such as Genosse Trotski, who the song describes as a wise person who had facts on almost every topic. However, despite his intelligence, the revolution he was a part of failed, and people like him are now dealing with the repercussions. The song also touches on the notion that some people who earned their first million by being associated with the failed revolution now live extravagantly and care only about money. Others, perhaps the soldiers who fought in the war, have no home to return to and no money to rely on. In the end, the song encourages people to stand against the harshness of the world, even if that means a fight.
